works:
"The year is 20XX. The world is rebuilding after the fall of nations in WW3. The entire globe is now governed by a totalitarian, satellite surveillance state run by the "Mother Brain". Crime is rampant. A variety of unclassified mutant tribes began emerging from the nuclear fallout district. Some of them are cannibal. There are constant battles against the totalitarian police state. The city has become a dense prison filled with both man and mutant. Welcome to my world... welcome to DOOM WORLD." - Dick Knoxx.
Brian Knoxx joins the military in this surreal piece.
A limited narrative series. Wolfgang is uninspired and contemplating suicide. The worldwide success of his video games have only made him more depressed and unfulfilled. Wolfgang's plan was to check into a Miami motel and take his own life but what he didn't account for was that his path would be forever altered when he meets another guest: a rebellious young sex-worker named Victoria Vix. She may have just given Wolfgang reason to extend his stay a few more days...
A woman struggles to get out of bed.
This experimental, improvised narrative picture brings an existential perspective to an intersection of beings living an American experience. Features the first appearance of Brian Knoxx.
What's going on with you here now in summer 2024?
Getting ready to shoot some new noir stuff.
How's life in NYC?
It's going okay. I like to dwell on dramatics but on a positive note things seem to be on a rocking vibe lately. Can't explain it but it's maybe getting more fun. I've personally found a lot of different types of forums to create characters and develop ideas.
What's the new noir stuff?
I've got a character I'm working on called Dick Knoxx that's a detective doing his duty in a post-nuclear war dystopian "doom world".
Any other projects you can talk about?
I opened a "get quote" service on the studio Instagram account. If any interactive/gaming teams need art and story direction, send for a quote. If a Creative Director wants to work on an idea for a firm, send a quote. Anyone can ask for a quote on an idea. I won't steal anything, have it copywrit and NDA'd just in case. I've got a few old screenplays ready to read for any potential production partners. I'm personally going to focus on readying one screenplay for a mid-market budget feature picture project that I'll begin talking about next year. I'm not sure which script I'll focus on yet. I'll also have some other surprises. Easter eggs and things like that.
